Cleaning the inside
You should clean the appliance internally with a weak solution of bicarbonate of soda. Then rinse with
warm water using a damp sponge or cloth and wipe dry. Wash the baskets in warm soapy water and
ensure they are completely dry before replacing them.
Cleaning the outside
Use standard non-abrasive detergent diluted in warm water to clean the exterior.
The grille of the condenser at the back and the adjacent components can be vacuumed using a soft
brush attachment.
Do not use harsh cleaners, scouring pads or solvents to clean any part of the appliance.
If you're going on vacation
If your appliance is not to be used for several months, remove all food, turn off and unplug the appliance
from the outlet. Clean and dry the inside and outside of the appliance thoroughly. Also leave the door
open, blocking it if necessary, to prevent condensation, odors, mold.
Moving the unit
▪
Location
Do not place your appliance near a heat source, for example stove, boiler or radiator. Also, avoid direct
sunlight.
▪
Leveling
Make sure the appliance is level. Use the adjustable feet at the front. If the appliance is not level, the
doors and magnetic sealing alignments will be affected and may cause malfunctions.
▪
Do not turn on the appliance for 4 hours
After any movement, it must not be connected for 4 hours. This delay allows the coolant to be adjusted.
▪
Installation
Let your device breathe. Heat is released from the walls so it is important to leave a circulation of air
around your device.
Energy saving tips
▪
The appliance should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing
appliances or heating ducts, and out of the direct sunlight.
▪
Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing them inside. An overload will force the
compressor to run longer. Food that freezes too slowly may lose quality, or deteriorate.
▪
Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in the appliance.
This cuts down on frost build-up inside.
▪
Storage bin should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling. Liners
interfere with cold air circulation, making the appliance less efficient.
▪
Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as many
items as needed at one time, and close the door as soon as possible.
Turn off your appliance
If the unit is not likely to operate for a long period of time:
